“A delightful glimpse into enduring English folklore and beliefs. Written in the latter part of the eighteenth century, the book delves into matters natural and supernatural to explain why ghosts never appear on Christmas Eve and the magical power hidden in ordinary toads. A charming and illuminating read that is surprising in its detail and satisfying in its scope.”
